Hi, I'm subscribed to the bug 85940 which is pretty long. In past (<30 replies?) I've been receiving mail notifications regularly, but (at least I think so) after the number of comments/patches on the bug got over some size, the e-mail messages are being sent only "groupped". See this example: [BEGIN of example] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85940 neysx@gentoo.org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment #55401 [details]|1 |0 is patch| | Attachment #55401 [details]|0 |1 is obsolete| | ------- Additional Comments From neysx@gentoo.org 2005-04-05 14:24 PST ------- (From update of attachment 55401 [details]) Committed. Thanks. ------- Additional Comments From jkt@flaska.net 2005-04-06 10:41 PST ------- Created an attachment (id=55503) --> (http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=55503&action=view) cs/handbook/hb-install-tools.xml (jkt) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You reported the bug, or are watching the reporter. [END of example] So it seems that there's something which is trying to reduce amount of mail traffic, but fails. If you look at the history of the bug, you'll see that delays between the updates are quite long (hours), not just minutes or seconds. I've tried to enable sending mails to myself even when I make an action at the bug, but the problem persists. After I make some action (creating patch, making comment etc.), I *do* see the bugzilla message "email sent to..." *including* my e-mail address, but I don't receive any confirmation when neysx@g.o makes a change, I receive it only after I make something myself. I'll ask Xavier if he has the same problems.
AFAIK, there is no problem at all unless common bugzilla behaviour how I know it is the problem. I've always seen it behave like that. You get notified after a new attachment comes in or after an additional comment is posted. Some other changes like altering the mime type of an attachment do not trigger a new notification but are rather mentioned on the next notification. I've never seen it as a bug but I understand the confusion it creates. It's got nothing to do with the number of comments or attachments.
re comment 1: If you look at the mail I've attached, you'll ses that I haven't received your comment "Committed. Thanks.". Maybe adding comments to attachements is not handled as normal comments? Could you try to add comment to the bug 85940, wait a few minutes and then add one more, without touching attachements? BTW, IIRC I *did* received several notifications some time ago when you changed more attachements at once...
FYI, we receive exactly the same notifications. It's just as described in comment #1. Number of comments or attachments has no influence.
OK, so "adding comments from attachement update" is not same as "adding comments" or "adding comments from new attachement"? Maybe I should report it upstream...
Seems this is not a bugzilla issue. Works for me.
